Village To Help Student Project

October 13, 1992

Lansing has decided to help some high school students with their home work, not their homework.

The home work involves rehabbing a 70-year-old house as part of a job-training program at Thornton Fractional South High School. The Village Board voted last week to spend $80,000 to buy a vacant, two-story frame house at 2440 E. 179th St.

Lansing will borrow the money to buy the house then resell it. The arrangement is similar to one High School District 215 made with neighboring Calumet City.

District 215 includes Thornton Fractional South and Thornton Fractional North in Calumet City.
